The Kite Runner

     Baba and Amir have moved to America in The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.  This change of setting was a start of a new life for Amir.  A chance to forget and start over.  America was different, and he was willing to adapt.  His willingness was because America was "someplace with no ghosts, no memories, and no sins" (136).  Amir was ready to bury all of his past and plan for a better future.  What he has not realized is how much his past has affected him now and will continue to affect him as he lives in America.  Baba still brings up Hassan every once and a while and Amir still has flashbacks of the times they spent together.  No matter what Amir will not be able to erase his past.  He will bring it into his relationships and his life.
